<P>1.&nbsp; Sign up for the Maryland Workforce Exchange (<A href="http://www.mwejobs.com/">http://www.mwejobs.com</A>) online.<BR>2.&nbsp; Go to a Maryland Career Center to apply for and receive your vouchers.</P>
<P>Maryland also confirmed that they are passing some vouchers out through colleges and other distribution channels, but I was unable to get details.&nbsp; I think a good starting point to get more information might be the career counseling office at your local college/university in Maryland.&nbsp; Again, time is of the essence.&nbsp; Many of these states that received the voucher are under a lot of pressure to get them out to people as quickly as possible, since they are given only a limited amount of time to distribute them, with hard start and stop dates!</P>
<P>Marylanders, hurry up and register before this opportunity is gone!</P>Elevating America in Missourihttp://sqlblog.com/blogs/michael_coles/archive/2009/11/06/elevating-america-in-missouri.aspxFri, 06 Nov 2009 15:30:00 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:18579Mike C<P>Just got confirmation from Missouri on their portion of the "Elevate America" program (<A href="http://www.microsoft.com/About/CorporateCitizenship/us/CommunityInvestment/participatingstatesmap.aspx">http://www.microsoft.com/About/CorporateCitizenship/us/CommunityInvestment/participatingstatesmap.aspx</A>).&nbsp; Missouri started passing out vouchers through their Dept. of Labor and Industrial Relations on Nov. 2nd.&nbsp; So far they've passed out about 25% of their total 24,000 vouchers.&nbsp; The Missouri program has a state residency requirement.&nbsp; To apply, follow these steps:</P>
<P>1.&nbsp; Go to <A href="https://www.missouricareersource.com/mcs/mcs/default.seek">https://www.missouricareersource.com/mcs/mcs/default.seek</A>&nbsp;and register.<BR>2.&nbsp; Click on the "Job Seeker" button.<BR>3. &nbsp;Register and login.<BR>4. &nbsp;After you register and login you'll be presented with an "Elevate America" tab.<BR>5.&nbsp; Click the tab and follow the online instructions.</P>
<P>Hurry, this free training opportunity for Missouri residents will probably be gone fast!</P>
<P><STRONG>UPDATE:&nbsp; On a side note, I just received confirmation that the State of Mississippi has exhausted their supply of these vouchers (in less than two weeks!)&nbsp; Residents of other states need to be aware of when these will be passed out and how they can get them so the people who need them won't miss out!</STRONG></P>
